About

Welcome to elementary school, LISD families!

This age begins your child's “formal” schooling, starting in Kindergarten through 5th grade! This phase in a child's development can be full of changes. Sometimes it’s an even bigger change for parents, especially if the child has a disability. Though the challenge of moving ahead can be scary, transition can be a positive thing. It’s time for your child to learn new skills and grow more independent. It’s time to begin preparing for your child’s future.

During transition, it is particularly important for parents of children with disabilities to learn about the different programs, services and placements available under special education.
